Next up: Tsonga in quarters

27.06.2011 | Tennis, Starseite 1

Roger had to drop a set against Mikhail Youzhni today before eventually celebrated a strong 6-7(5), 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 victory.

Both players served well in the opening set, taking it into a tie-breaker. Roger jumped to a 4-1 lead - only to just enter a short sloppy phase and eventually drop the set by losing the tie-break 5-7. He found his rhythm better and better, managing to break Youzhni twice in the second set. He then continued dictating the game and finally sealed the victory to reach his 29th consecutive grand slam quarter-final!

Roger will now play Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (ATP 19) of France on Wednesday.

#ADI1008# I have to correct my statement that Fed's tweener in Qatar 2011 was against Schoorel not against Dabul. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwDBacITc3o
But Fed WON this tournament although he had a tweener within the tournament.
I consider and hope that FED will lift the trophy regardless of tweeners and opponents,He has the light of a champion more apperant this time, seems mentally stronger.He needs to get the first sets which enables him show his masterclass more conveniently.Forza FE
